Marriages of Robert Beggs, father William
« on: Wednesday 06 November 13 22:03 GMT (UK) »
I have been informed that when Robert Beggs married Janet Rodgers in 1850, he had been previously married. Is there anyone researching this line, or knows the name of Robert's first wife?
I have found the names of Robert's children with Janet, and they are Robert Hugh born 1851, Sarah Jane born 1857 , and Jenny born 1866, all baptized in Ballylinney. None of this helps with the name of Robert's first wife though but establishes his whereabouts as Ballylinney.
thanks for any help.

Re Birth of James Beggs 1752.

Peggy,

Have just come across your posts on roots chat from 2014 concerning as you put it "my Thomas Beggs" who married Margaret Boyd. We are researching my fathers side the McDonalds from Cornamucklagh, County Louth and have not long started on my mothers side the Henrys from the Castleblaney, Armagh area.
If we are correct my great great grandfather William Henry from Castleblaney married Mary Ann Beggs second daughter of the late William Beggs of Armagh in Castlecaulfield church in 1832.
The witnesses being Dr. Henry King her brother in law and we think your Thomas Beggs who at the time was in business with William Henry in Dundalk importing timber from Canada/America and was possibly her cousin.
Would love to hear from you or anybody else with any information that would confirm that William Henry and Mary Ann Beggs were my great great grandparents.
